Vented fuel caps

Post by Robert Eilers »

I ordered vented fuel caps from Aircraft Spruce and received the chrome smooth top type with the vent hole in the middle of the top of the cap. I am not sure I like this particular type of vented cap - seems to me that water contamination might be a problem and it seems like the vent hole could easily be clogged. Of course the fuel caps didn't cost much. Where can I find the Red type fuel caps?
